This game has died a death to some extent, with Norwich having definitely picked up the three points. But they fancy a fourth but Cameron Jerome's pass to Nathan Redmond is intercepted on the edge of the box by a Cherries player.

Well actually Paul (see last entry), this game is over now. Matt Jarvis marks his Norwich debut with a goal. Jonathan Howson plays the ball forward to the winger, who gets the ball on his left foot and curls home.

HITS THE WOODWORK

Norwich should be out of sight by now as Robbie Brady finds space in the box and tries to beat keeper Artur Boruc at his near-post but sees his effort smash off the post. That would have been his first goal for this new club.

Simon Francis almost scores an own goal as he skews a poor Norwich shot over the bar.

Here you can see how Wes Hoolahan scored his goal. Eunan O'Kane lost the ball near the halfway line and Hoolahan did the rest.

It's the Wes Hoolahan show, he's been at the heart of everything for Norwich. On this occasion however as the ball breaks to him outside the box, Steve Cook does enough to deny the attacking midfielder.

YELLOW CARD

Simon Francis on the brink here, the Bournemouth right-back was booked in the first half and brings down winger Matt Jarvis. I think he'd have been shown a yellow card for that normally.

GOAL - Norwich 2-0 Bournemouth

Wes Hoolahan

Wes Hoolahan didn't need Cameron Jerome that time! The Irish wizard gets the ball 40 yards out and runs towards goal. He has a couple of options in the box - including Jerome - but this time he fancies having a go himself and fires home from 20 yards out.

Canaries in control.

Matt, London: Crazy to think Wes Hoolahan is now pulling the strings against teams in the Premier League. I remember him playing in a struggling Blackpool side not too long ago.

I once saw Hoolahan named man of the man in a Champions League qualifier back in 2004 for Shelbourne v Deportivo La Coruna. It's a major shame for him that his career seemed so slow to really get going at the top level. He's 33 now!

The only shot on target in the whole half was the goal. Norwich have edged the stats so far.

Hoolahan has joy down the right

Norwich 1-0 Bournemouth

There is no graphic to show when a player has his shinpad in his hand like Wes Hoolahan did when he set up Norwich's goal but here is how the Canaries worked the ball from the back before Hoolahan beat Cherries defender Steve Cook and crossed for Cameron Jerome to break the deadlock.

I think Norwich just about edged that half with Wes Hoolahan creating a couple of chances for Cameron Jerome. When he created that moment of brilliance for the goal - he had three or four options and he picked the right one, that's what makes him a top-class player.

HALF-TIME - Norwich 1-0 Bournemouth

Bournemouth defender Steve Cook heads the ball onto Callum Wilson, who hits the post from close range under extreme pressure from Cameron Jerome. It looks like keeper John Ruddy might have actually touched that onto the woodwork, crucial save.

Five minutes until the break and Norwich are looking fairly comfortable. They're just playing the ball around at the back.

YELLOW CARD

It's two yellow cards apiece now as Norwich midfielder Wes Hoolahan blocks a Simon Francis cross with his hands - although it looked like he was protecting his face. So a bit harsh.

Post update

Norwich left-back Robbie Brady has saved his team with a brilliant tackle there. The ball is played forward to Callum Wilson and with the in-form striker set to pounce, the Irishman just about gets a leg in to get the ball out for a corner.

Corner comes to nothing.

Bournemouth winger Joshua King squanders a good chance - he's got the ball on the byeline but seems to almost lose concentration and controls it out of play.

25 mins

YELLOW CARD

We're not going to end with 22 men on this pitch surely. I'd barely told you about Simon Francis's yellow before team-mate Adam Smith joined him in the booking club for an angry clash with Wes Hoolahan.

Three players on a card already.

YELLOW CARD

It's the second yellow card of the game as Bournemouth defender Simon Francis brings down Matt Jarvis, who was just about to go on a dribble. Very much taking one for the team.

King was the player who injured Tettey in the opening minutes.

Slightly surprising all Norwich's stuff is coming through the right when they have Robbie Brady and Matt Jarvis both playing on the left. Brady is playing at left-back despite being a natural winger like Jarvis.

Grabban 'matter is pretty much done'

PACopyright: PA

Lewis Grabban could have been playing for either of these sides today - but now he won't be featuring at all.

Bournemouth made three bids for the 27-year-old Canaries striker during the summer, all rejected.

He has apologised after being fined and suspended following reports he walked out of their team hotel a couple of weeks ago.

Quote Message: He broke the rules and paid the consequences. He is training to get his fitness back up. He wasn't at the club or training with any of the boys during the suspension. He must pay his dues until he works his way back into the squad. As far as I am concerned, the matter is pretty much done. from Alex Neil Norwich boss

"Callum Wilson is the Premier League's top-scoring Englishman this season, and Eddie Howe believes the additional firepower from new signing Glenn Murray can keep Bournemouth in the top flight.

"The Northern Irishman is keen to prove his worth in the Premier League and doesn't want another loan move: 'When I was a young boy I sat watching 'Match Of The Day' dreaming of playing there, so I'm not going to throw my towel in now.'"

It is very early to be talking about six-pointers but this is a result that in six months' time could have a massive effect on where both clubs are at.

Norwich v Bournemouth (15:00 BST)

And they've got identical records in the league this season, an away win, a home draw and two defeats.

So how will the first ever top-flight meeting between these sides go? Let's find out.
